Where Do Xbox 360s Go When They Die?

Well, if you are one of those gamers who likes to fix their system without voiding their warranty, it goes here:

Repair Center

5700 S International Parkway Door 18

Mcallen TX 78503

What would I see? Rows and rows of Xbox 360s lined up in an assembly line with a bunch of people in cool white suits cracking them open in an assembly line?

The truth of it was not nearly that cool. The journey was a bit of a letdown in the end. I wasn’t allowed past the security desk, but I was able to ask some questions. It turns out that the place where Xboxes go is nothing more than a distribution center about five miles from the Texas/Mexico border (the Rio Grande River).

Your Microsoft consoles go here, and are then shipped somewhere in Mexico. I also recently found out that this is where your Seagate hard drives go, whether or not those are shipped to the same repair facility from here I don’t know.

Nice article! Thanks for the post. My Xbox just got repaired, the UPS tracking said MX. I couldn’t figure out why my frickin Xbox would be in Mexico! Now I know why. :) I thought it was funny they wouldn’t let you inside. Too bad, those would have been some sweet photos if they did! ;)
